can you write some words which come from other languages to english?

Question

i am a turkish

is yoghurt from greek?it is amazing i knew that it is from my language:) as we say yoğurt

Answer 1

all the words can be found to come from other languages, the majority of them are originally from Greek!
Britain, comes from Brutus, the person who founded the new Troy, now known as London!
Scotland, is the Land of Darkness, since the Greeks went there some winter time, more than 5,000 years ago, and since it was dark, they name her so!
Go, from the Greek verb A go
syndicate
democracy
kiss
brake
strategy
and I would need a century or two to proceed!

Answer 2

Yoghurt
Kebab
Khan

From Turkish

To the guy below; yoghurt is originally a Turkish word.

"The word derives from the Turkic yoğurt (pronounced [jɔˈurt]) deriving from the adjective 'yoğun', which means "dense" and "thick", or from the verb yoğurmak, which means "to knead" and possibly meant "to make dense" originally -- how yoghurt is made. The letter ğ is silent between back vowels in Modern Turkish, but was formerly pronounced as a voiced velar fricative [ɣ] and still retains this pronunciation in some eastern dialects." (see the link below also)

Answer 3

Most English words are derived from Latin or Greek roots.
Modern language (including English) is evolving all the time, with new words being invented and imported.

Answer 4

English itself has very few words of English. 99 of the most common 100 are actually Germanic in origin, as is probably 60% of the entire language. The majority of the rest are Norman French or middle French. As has been said, we use a lot of Greek as well.

In addition, there are "Empire" words such as tea, tiffin, kayak, canoe, kangaroo, parka.

Even most of our "good old Anglo-Saxon" swear words are no such thing. The F-word is probably 16th century Dutch.

Answer 5

I'll write you some words that come from the greek language. First the english and then the greek.


- aroma άρωμα
- new νέος
- physics φυσική
- mathematics μαθηματικά
- parody παρωδία
- name όνομα
- air αέρας
- fantasy φαντασία
- butter βούτυρο
- patriot πατριώτης
- basis βάση
- crisis κρίση
- psychology ψυχολογία
- protein πρωτεΐνη
- fame φήμη
- one ένας
- syllable συλλαβή
- zone ζώνη
- aeroplane αεροπλάνο
- analysis ανάλυση
- anatomy ανατομία
- anarchy αναρχία
- anaemia αναιμία
- amphibian αμφίβιο
- phobia φοβία
- theatre θέατρο
- anaesthetic αναισθητικό
- anchor άγκυρα
- anecdote ανέκδοτο
- angel άγγελος




YOGHURT is not Turkish it's Greek. It comes from the greek word: υγείαρτος (hygiartos). Even the Turkish Capital (Ankara) city comes from greek (άγκυρα=anchor).

So people who speak english, can admit that they almost speak greek!
